How it going everybody.

Im kinda new to the forum and although im a looong time S2000 fan ive never had the opportunity to own one until now. Although im new to S2000s, im not new to automobile and motorcycle motorsports. My current vehicle is an 1997 Acura Integra Type R #122 with a fully built 1.9L N/A B18C5 motor bored to 84mm, Wiseco 12:1 pistons, RM (Rocket Motorsports) rods, RM M24x cams, RM springs and retainers, Hytech 2.0L header, 3" exhaust, and a bunch more.

Since im in my newbie stages in compiling random information and one of those things are sping rate. Heres what i've been able to find so far and please feel free to contribute.

Aloha.

Thank you.

 

Good idea
Thoug I think you 02-03 OEM figures are wrong. They moved closer together.
My 06 car had the OEM springs tested at 250 lbs front and rear
Nitrons are 300lb front and rear for all years. with 30mm drop

 

Thanks Slipper. Good idea.

This should be cleaned up of posts like mine and stickied.

Bookmarking this thread

I am trying to find 2 pieces of info:

1. Does anyone know the length and ID of the ERS springs that are used with Ground Control coilovers (F&R)?

2. Does anyone have any information on the CR spring rates yet?

 

philbert keeps correcting me when I link to this thread , so I want to post this here - the rates listed here are apparently not totally correct - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry14070110
